Why did you start breeding?

Pedigrees, health clearances, natural point, personalities, and size are our most important criteria, followed by titles. We strive for intelligent dogs with exceptional temperaments and natural abilities. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
